“I think they’re as good as anybody in our league,” Rahe added. “Our league is an absolute mother. It’s the best it’s been since I’ve been here in 12 years. Montana is going to be at the top or close to it. They’re too good.”

Montana has as good of a 1-2 combo as anyone in the league, several conference coaches told 406mtsports.com.

“Their guard play is so explosive,” Southern Utah head coach Todd Simon said. “They really do have what I think is an almost high-major backcourt. Those guys put so much pressure on you. They can combine for 40, 50 points. That’s a monumental challenge.”

“Their guards are excellent,” Weber State head coach Randy Rahe added. “Rorie and Oguine, one of those could be an MVP guy, and the other who’s not is a first-team all-league guy. That’s how good they are.”

Oguine leads the conference with 2.7 offensive rebounds per game and is ninth with 0.9 blocked shots. He’s adding 14.4 points per game and 1.3 steals.

“Mike Oguine is one of best two-way players in the league,” Eastern Washington head coach Shantay Legans said. “He’s one of the best rebounding guards I’ve ever seen. Oguine leads the conference with 2.7 offensive rebounds per game and is ninth with 0.9 blocked shots. He’s adding 14.4 points per game and 1.3 steals.

Couldn't find much info at all on Weber State injuries, other than that junior front-court starters Zach Braxton and Brekkott Chapman had both missed several games in mid-December. Evidently Braxton will play this week.
